建築師丹尼爾‧伯恩罕 (Daniel H. Burnham) 出生
184694

當你走在路上,是什麼因素會讓你忽略經過的大樓,又是哪些因素讓你入神的看著某棟大樓,並想到大樓裡去參觀一下裡面的房間呢?丹尼爾‧伯恩罕或許可以告訴你,這個答案是有關於一個偉大的遠見:「不要作小的計畫;這些計畫沒有能夠刺激人類血液的魔力要坐大的計畫:要懷抱希望並工作 

伯恩罕於1846年月4日出生,他和令一位建築師約翰‧魏爾伯恩‧魯特 (John Wellborn Root) 一同創立美國歷史上最有名的建築公司之一。他們以建築過去沒有的高樓,進一步改變了城市的空中輪廓線。


What makes you walk by one building without noticing it while another compels you to stare in wonder and welcomes you to explore the rooms inside? Daniel H. Burnham might tell you the answer has something to do with a grand vision, "Make no little plans; they have not magic to stir men's blood . . . Make big plans; aim high in hope and work . . ."

Born September 4, 1846, Burnham joined architect John Wellborn Root to establish one of the most famous architectural firms in U.S. history. Together they changed the shape of our cities' skylines by aiming higher than anyone dreamed.
